soaps

Soaps are very different from apples
A very log time ago there were no soaps
But apples existed
We could clean our selves despite no soaps
But using soaps are like getting married
You get used to them
Without them you feel insecure
You like the smell.
Some people use shower gels
They get used to the scrubs
The feeling like the soap is still not gone
That they will be clean
Just as soon as they rid themselves of all the soap
It’s a funny thing to put soap and then to wash it off
But scientific minds know
Detergents react with the dirt and grime
Removing them easily from our bodies
Opening our pores that are filled with dirt
And when the pores are open
Our bodies breathe and we are clean
We don’t smell
Add to that the scent of the soap
Voila it’s magic
Men are attracted to women and women to men
Scent came from cold countries
They say it originated in china
In very cold weather with scarcity of water
People couldn’t bathe very often
The odor I hear was revolting
And great inventions are in dire times
So they made scents
Put them in tiny bottles and used them on and off
Then there is a big shift in the story
Today we have all kinds of scents, deodorants, after shaves and roll-on’s
Though we are all still not the Chinese
But how had god thought we ever be able to smell good or attractive without scents
There is a difference
A man on crutches because he has no legs
And us
We tend to lose our legs because somebody made crutches
I guess it the same story here
So god had thought that a –man- or woman for that matter
Will exercise- do work- actual hard physical labor
Or at least be like other animals and perspire
Which also like soaps de-clogs our pores
And when the body breathes there is no bad odor
Hence making soaps redundant
My issue is not with the soap
Instead with the nature of the commodity
The mechanisms that put it into place
So the scenarios where a person doesn’t exercise
Lives in an air-conditioned box
Moves in another air-conditioned mechanization on wheels
Again sleeps in conditioned air
Has really really clogged pores
Apart from generating toxins around him
And into nature
In order to condition the air in the boxes.
It is a sheer feat of science that he still manages to smell good
It is a sign of his conquest over nature
It is without doubt a modern and a progressive world that this person lives in
Unlike the old primitive state of nature.
The more I pluck my eyebrows and the more I shave my chin
The better looking I become
I can wax my feet and put silicon in my breasts
I can not only make plastic but I can become plastic too
